Re: child suport
17% of your CSSA income roughly means that you calculate 17% of your annual gross income (up to $80,000.00) minus apx 10%
to wit: gross income minus 10% x 17% = child support due.
10% represents approximation of FICA & Medicare paid (Not Taxes)out of wages. Income may also be reduced further by other deductions such as: union dues,.. etc., but not taxes.
"Add Ons" are not included in the "Basic [17%] Child Support provisions. "Add Ons" include extras, like: camp, tutors,etc...
You should see a lawyer.

You should memorialize your agreement to avoid confusion and dispute in the future.
